    Run For Your Lives was AWESOME!! If money is an issue, you can volunteer as a zombie for $25, then run in a later heat for free. I was so impressed by the professional makeup artists they used to zombify everyone. Such a blast. I'd do it again if they were going to be in my area.

    I'm giving serious consideration to the Beast as well! I've just got a half marathon in there, as well as some horse shows, so I don't know if I can make it work. Gotta balance kids and work in there too :)

    This explains why the Zombie spots filled up WAY before the race sold out.

    I bet. Next year I'll register as a zombie, rather than a runner. Twice the fun, fraction of the cost :)

    Just to point out I JUST read a blog post from a friend of mine who'd signed up as a zombie. She said both she and her man were so tired from hours of chasing people they were too exhausted to run the race.

    I know I wouldn't want to because when the zombies run the race later..well there aren't any zombies now are there?

    I didn't realize I could. I signed myself up as a runner, and my son as a zombie, thinking that he'd be a zombie during my heat. When race day came, he was scheduled for a three hour stint as a zombie, then a two hour break, and then we both had our run heat, at the same time.

    I like to run these races late morning (10a or so) because it's cooler out and the course isn't as messed up.

    It sounds like they rotate when they run.

    There was just a Death Race in VT, which isn't far from me. I wanted to go volunteer, but didn't make it up. Huge respect for anyone who even signs, up, let alone completes!

    I think they only do the death race once a year. It's the one you have to qualify for.

    I'm doing my first Warrior Dash in Minnesota on September 8th. I'm nervous as heck but the desire to not fall on my face sure makes training a lot more enjoyable :D
